Girl of My Dreams - Royal Canoe

Girl of my dreams

You don’t seem me

It’s always you until they turn

Is that 'cause you’re just like everyone else?

All but afraid of yourself

You do it to yourself

I’m in your dream but all I’ll be

Is another figure made of dust

That’s not the only thing that you felt

Is all I can say to myself

I say it to myself

Lift up your eyes

Don’t you know that you’re sleeping?

The day is drifting away, away from you

Though it feeds you at night

It’ll starve in the sunlight

The dream is slipping away, away from you

Girl of my dreams

You can’t heal me

'Cause there is nothing left to touch

If it were real, where would I dwell?

All alone in myself

Staring at myself

I’ll pretend I’m letting you go

Like I ever had you to hold

You’ll be takin', a-takin', a-takin', your leave

Until you wake in my dream

I’ll pretend I’m letting you go

Like I ever had you to hold

You’ll be takin', a-takin', a-takin', your leave

Until you wake in my dream

Lift up your eyes

Don’t you know that you’re sleeping?

The day is drifting away, away from you

Though it feeds you at night

It’ll starve in the sunlight

The dream is slipping away, away from you
